Julia's Top Ten Auto-Buy Authors

A little over a year ago, I wrote my Top Auto-Buy Romance Authors, so I will try not to repeat with this top ten, though all of the other authors still apply!

Courtney Milan - She is one of my favorite new to me romance authors. Her books are always so creative and well researched, and even when I may not completely love them, I still love them (if that makes any sense).Books I loved: A Kiss for Midwinter, The Duchess War, The Governess Affair

Beth Revis - It is no secret that I loved the Across the Universe series. I can't wait to see what world Revis builds for us next.Books I loved: Across the Universe, A Million Suns, Shades of Earth

Kristen Callihan - I feel like all I do on this blog is gush about how much I love Kristen Callihan and her Darkest London series. It is just so inventive and emersive!Books I loved: Firelight, Moonglow, Winterblaze

George R.R. Martin - Anyone who has read any of A Song of Ice and Fire I would ascertain has Martin as an auto-buy. How can you not when the books come out years apartBooks I loved: Game of Thrones, A Storm of Swords

Marissa Meyer - I absolutely can't wait to get my hands on Scarlet, the next in her steampunk-dystopian Fairy Tales series. It should be in my hands soon.Books I loved: Cinder

Meljean Brook - A great steampunk and sexy world. That is what she created. The second and third in her Iron Seas series have been on my to buy list for a while. So I guess its auto-buy... but I haven't bought them quite yet.Books I loved:The Iron Duke

Okay, I seriously need to read the Game of Thrones books. And finish the Across the Universe series. And read more adult romance! Awesome list, Julia - I'm going to have to check out some of these authors!

omg i love julia quinn, courtney milan, kristen callihan, and elizabeth hoyt. some of my favorite romance authors. i haven't had a chance to read any jennifer ashley yet but it will go into the pile now. and love marissa meyer. great list!

I'm hearing great things about Cinder and Now scarlet so I will definitely be keeping an eye out for them. I have mixed thoughts about wanting to read the Game of Thrones series. (Also I apologise if my link shows up twice. Firefox decided to crash during processing the first time so I don't know if it actually worked the first time.)

BETH REVIS! Also on my list. Love love love love love. My first finished series. Ever. (Still reading Harry Potter, never read past half-way of Twilight... I finished The Hunger Games, but I need to find a good time to devour CF and M.)

Loved Cinder. Still too soon for me to know if Marissa Meyer will be an auto-buy.

I only came up with five this time! I think my list has shrunk dramatically. I used to have at least a dozen must-buy authors, but I've really pared down my TBR lists in recent years to focus more specifically on books I love.

I love your list! Several of those were either on my list or on my original list that had to be cut down, haha. I actually love every single author on this list that I've read! Clearly, this means I should look up the others. Especially Meljean Brook. I've heard so many great things about her books.

I haven't read any of the other authors you listed, but I LOVE Marissa Meyer. CINDER was great and SCARLET is too (maybe better), so I really, really can't wait to see what Meyer does in the next book!

This is my first time participating in TTT, by the way. It's so fun :)

Kristen Callihan! I loved Firelight, and I'm so excited to read the other two books in the series! I'm also currently reading A Million Suns (after re-reading Across the Universe), and I can't believe I almost forgot how much I frexing love the way Beth Revis writes, and the world that she creates. So good! :D

You know, I downloaded a sample of Game of Thrones to see what all the hubbub was about. MY nhubby swera by this series, but he doesn't often have good tast, always reading histry books. Dry, stuffy, boring. I love the Miniseries, but I think these books are just a little to long for me to really enjoy, so I'll stick with the show on HBO.

The internet was being a stinker for me today, so it took me all day to write this post, and I still only came up with 8! (And 4 of them are dead). Here it is, at long last: http://worducopia.blogspot.com/2013/02/8-authors-id-read-anything-by.html

I have got to get on the Game of Thrones bandwagon. Although I am not normally intimidated by page length, I have to admit that the heft of those books and the series in general has made me put off reading it.
